THE RECORD
I NORMALL Y WOULD NEVER LIST ANY ALBUM THAT ISN'T EX+ AT LEAST, BUT DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS LP, I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE
MY GRADING OF THIS IS VG
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL DARK GREEN APLLE LABELS, WHICH HAVE ALL OF THE FIRST PRESS INDICATORS. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY ECTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE SIDE OF THE LABEL IS IN EQUALLY GOOD CONDITION. THERE ARE 10-15 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON IT, WHICH SHOW UP UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS ALSO ONE LONG SURFACE MARK ON SIDE TWO ACCROSS THE LAST THREE TRACKS. I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF IT. IT IS ONLY SURFACE AND DOESNT DO MORE THAN A FEW LIGHT ROTATIONAL CLICKS. IN ACTUAL FACT I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST 4--50 SECONDS OF EACH TRACK OF THE LP. SOMETHING THAT I FELT I NEEDED TO DO TO SHOW THE SOUND QUALITY AND BACKGROUND NOISE ASSOSIATED WITH THE DISC
PLAYING THE RECORD
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS NEAR SILENCE AT THE RUN IN AND BETWEEN THE TRACKS IN THE LINKING GROOVES, WITH JUST A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND IN PLACES AND SOME LIGHT CLICKS AND POPS AS WELL IN RANDOM SPOTS. CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO LOWER THE GRADE. THE ONLY ONE IRRITANT THAT I FOUND WAS THAT THERE IS A SMALL STICK ON TRACK 5 SIDE ONE. I HAVE YET TO TRY TO WORK THE STICKING OUT, BY WHICH I MEAN THAT THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A DEEP SCRATCH, SO IT MAY JUST BE SOME DUST LODGED IN THE GROOVE AND A BIT MORE CLEANING MIGHT FIX IT, OR A LITTLE MORE PRESSURE ON THE STYLUS. THE REST OF THE LP PLAYS FINE WITH JUST THE NOISES ALREADY MENTIONED.
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS IN GOOD PLUS CONDITION
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE HAS ACTUALLY REMAINED VERY FLAT AND THERE ARE NO MARKS ON IT OR IN FACT HEAVY CREASES. THERE ARE LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND DOWN THE SPINE, AND A FEW ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE IS ACTAULLY PRETTY WELL SHARP WITH JUST ALITTLE WEAR FROM THE LP BEING REMOVED (FLUFFING). THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE SHOWS SIGNS OF AGING IN THE FORM OF LIGHT BROWNING AND A COUPLE OF STAINS. THE FLIPBACKS HAVE ALSO SUSTAINED A LITTLE DAMAGE DOWN THE RIGHT EDGE AND ONE SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM
SO CERTAINLY NOT A TOP COLLECTIBLE COPY, BUT A REAL GOOD FILLER AND IT DOES PLAY WELL
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
